Bittersweet success? glass ceilings for Britain’s ethnic minorities at the top of business and the professions

Policy Exchange -This report on ethnic minority progression at the top of business and the professions reveals a story of glass half full and glass half empty. It finds that minority representation in the highest social class - the higher managerial and professional class - is now 11.6 per cent non-white minority compared to just 10.8 per cent white people. However, it also reports on blockages at the very top of the NHS, the civil service, academia and business - the FTSE100 has only 17 non-white British-born directors out of more than 1,000.
